Okay I don't see a a rationale behind this not being in DT, Stephan?

You should use dma_request_channel() we cleaned up the APIs and recommend to
use dma_request_channel() for slave usages. See Documentation update in 
a8135d0d79e9: (dmaengine: core: Introduce new, universal API to request a
channel)
